How to Select the Best Fry Oil Filter Bag Micron Size

Fry oil filter bags are a game-changer for commercial kitchens. They effectively remove crumbs and debris from frying oil, making them essential for maintaining oil quality and extending its usability. Made from durable, specialised materials with microscopic openings just fractions of a millimeter in size, these reusable filter bags are designed to help businesses significantly reduce their oil expenses.

But how do you choose the right micron size for your needs? In this guide, we’ll walk you through the three types of MirOil filter bags and explain their unique benefits. 

What is a micron?

A micron is an incredibly small unit of measurement, equal to one-thousandth of a millimeter. It’s so tiny that it’s typically used to describe particles only visible under a microscope. When it comes to filter bags, the micron size refers to the diameter of the openings in the bag’s mesh. These holes allow oil to flow through while trapping unwanted crumbs and debris.

Rather than overloading you with numbers, we’ve simplified the process by offering three distinct filter bag types, each suited for different crumb sizes and workloads.

MirOil P Series EZ Flow filter bags

The MirOil P Series EZ Flow filter bags are a customer favourite for good reason. With a medium micron size, they strike the perfect balance between capturing both small food particles and larger crumbs.

Crafted from proprietary polymer, these filter bags are strong, reusable, and food-safe. They comply with Chapter 21 of the US Code for Food Safe and Compatible Materials, ensuring no harmful chemicals leach into your oil. Unlike standard paper filters, this advanced material is considered the global standard for fry oil filtration.

Choose to order the bag by itself or opt for a convenient bundle with a frame assembly.

MirOil T Series filter bags

The MirOil T Series filter bags are designed for kitchens dealing with heavier crumb loads.

When frying heavily breaded or battered foods, larger crumbs are more likely to clog finer filter bags. These coarse-micron bags are ideal for quickly filtering out bigger particles when draining oil. For a thorough cleaning, pair them with the P Series EZ Flow filter bags during the oil filtration process for an all-round clean.

MirOil F Series filter bags

For the finest level of filtration, MirOil F Series filter bags are your best option. These ultra-fine bags are capable of removing microscopic contaminants, food particles, and other impurities that can give foods a bad flavour. Using these filters regularly can significantly extend the lifespan of your frying oil, helping you cut costs on oil replacements.

The F Series filter bags are available for purchase as a bag only, or you can opt for the bag and frame assembly which includes the correct holder frame for your convenience.

Combining filter bags for optimal results

While the P Series filter bags are sufficient for most operations, some kitchens may benefit from a double-filtration system. Start with the MirOil P Series filter bag for pre-filtering crumbs (think “P for pre”), then finish the process with the F Series filter bag for a finer polish (think “F for final filter”). This two-step approach ensures your fry oil is as clean and polished as possible.
